What is it?

Expo Skills is a set of instruction packages for AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor. Each skill gives an agent focused knowledge about a specific Expo task, including which Expo APIs to use, how to structure common workflows, and the React Native, iOS, and Android constraints that matter.

The skills cover three groups: a router skill for vague requests, open-source framework skills for Expo Router, animation, native UI, data fetching, native modules, and SDK upgrades, and services skills for Expo Application Services (EAS) such as app store builds, EAS Hosting, workflows, EAS Update, and simulators. An experimental group covers Expo APIs that are not yet finalized.

Installation depends on the agent. Claude Code and Codex users install a plugin through their official marketplaces, while Cursor, OpenCode, and other agents use the skills CLI. The project also describes an Expo MCP server that lets agents read current docs, run EAS builds, and inspect running apps.

Key features

  • 01Covers Expo Router navigation, native UI, animations, and data fetching
  • 02Includes EAS skills for app store builds, hosting, workflows, and OTA updates
  • 03Provides an SDK upgrade skill for resolving dependency conflicts
  • 04Installs through the Claude Code and Codex plugin marketplaces or the skills CLI
  • 05Works with the Expo MCP server for live docs and build access

Use cases

  • Building a new Expo app with an AI coding agent that follows Expo conventions
  • Upgrading an existing Expo project to a newer SDK version
  • Setting up EAS workflows that build preview apps on pull requests
  • Debugging EAS Update rollouts and checking crash rates

Quick start

  1. 1

    Install all Expo skills with the skills CLI

    npx skills@latest add expo/skills --skill '*'
  2. 2

    Install the Claude Code plugin (alternative for Claude Code)

    claude plugin install expo@claude-plugins-official
  3. 3

    Restart or refresh your agent session so it discovers the installed SKILL.md files

Things to know

  • Skills are guidance for AI coding agents, not a standalone app or library.
  • Some skills cover paid EAS services that require an Expo account and plan limits apply.
